JUMPING THE GUN: Kirsten Dunst couldn’t help herself from leaking the news about her upcoming collaboration with Coach when actress and comedian Ayo Edebiri was spotted wearing pieces from the Observed by Us x Coach line.

The actress shared the news on Instagram with a picture showing Edebiri wearing a white top with dinosaurs on it.

The gathering, which will likely be released to the remaining of the world on Wednesday, features ready-to-wear, bags, footwear and accessories printed and embellished with original, hand-drawn illustrations by Jessica Herschko, a Los Angeles-based illustrator and designer of Observed by Us, and Dunst.

Coach creative director Stuart Vevers worked with the duo to create the road of T-shirts, hoodies, floral dresses and jeans whose inspiration was based on pieces present in Dunst’s closet. Key pieces include a wool pointelle crop top, overalls and a straw hat — each printed and embellished with original, hand-drawn illustrations by Herschko. Moreover, the pieces feature “storypatches,” a signature of Coach, in Herschko’s handwriting that tell the stories of illustrations in the gathering. 

“Creating this collection with Kirsten and Jessica was delightful,” said Vevers. “We got to have a good time our shared love of imagination and playfulness. Kirsten, and her style, have often been an inspiration for me. So to design alongside her and Jessica — and to mix their vivid storytelling and color with our own American heritage design language and craftsmanship — was really inspiring.” 

Vevers added that he was introduced to the duo by a mutual friend and the collaboration “evolved quite naturally from there. I used to be immediately drawn to Jessica’s illustrations and their imaginative use of color and playful themes, but in addition to the way Kirsten and Jessica joyfully have a good time the wonder within the on a regular basis — a theme I like to explore also. The gathering is charming and pretty. The idiosyncratic embellishments feel each personal and expressive. There’s also a found quality and vintage feel that adds a way of ease and funky.”

Vevers said what he likes most about working with other brands is that it allows him to try something recent. “Every collaboration I’ve done is different,” he said. “I feel that’s what I enjoy most about collaboration — it’s about trying something recent, and dealing with another person may give me a likelihood to challenge myself. Whether it’s with heroes of mine, contemporary artists or iconic imagery it’s also about a component of surprise. Something I’ve not done before.”

“We began Observed by Us to create clothing and other items with images that evoke a special, blissful feeling and a way of appreciation for each the natural and the synthetic,” said Herschko. “It was very fun to collaborate with Coach because, very like us, they see a world of possibility within the small details and have the power to execute that completely.”

The gathering will range in price from $20 to $595 and will likely be sold on the Coach website in addition to in select Coach stores. — JEAN E. PALMIERI
